Sooo I'm in a sticky situation….I currently work at Dunkin Donuts, which is my first job, and have since the day the owner of the store opened it, I've been with her since day one which would be about….7 months roughly. Anyways she was the BEST boss ever, she was always so nice to me, very sweet, even gave me a raise without me asking for one. Anyways, she recently sold DD like a week ago without telling any of her employees, which greatly surprised me (something about having to go out the country because her father needed surgery) anyways she was forced to sell the business because of it. We have a new owner and he is nice….that's all I can say because I only met him a couple days ago and worked with him for only 3. The thing is people are leaving. My favorite shift leader is leaving in two weeks so like (May 1st the latest) because she got a better offer for more pay at Starbucks, and the other shift leader that worked there with us quit too because he got a better offer at another DD (he is the manager now there). Now recently like yesterday actually, my former coworker who is now the manager at DD called me up and wants me to work at his store, he gave me a really amazing recommendation to the owner of that store. He really wants me to work there, and today I went to check the store out and I really really like it. They definitely get more business compared to the one I work at which means they can give me more hours, and can afford it. I'm a senior in high school, and I did tell them up front that I will need prom and graduation off, and that my sister and cousin are having weddings as well, and that I will work there if they can guarantee those days off. They said that was no problem at all I just need to give a weeks notice, plus I know the manager personally so any day I need off I'll let him know, he even said I can work however many hours I can handle. Which is awesome having that option to work as much as I want, especially with summer coming.Problem is they want me to work ASAP, so I'm going into there tomorrow to work. Luckily at the one that I still work at I have Saturday and Sunday off, and resume work Monday. It would be one thing if my old boss that sold it owned the DD I currently work at but she doesn't. I've only known the new owner for a couple of days but I know he really really likes me….I really really wish I could give my 2 weeks notice but I can't, it isn't possible when the other DD wants me to start immediately which I have no problem with, but I'm not that type of person to just be like "fuck y'all, bye bitches" because I like my co workers, and I don't want to look bad.. But like I said my shift leader is leaving, things are changing and I'm not liking the changes at all.If leave then there is only 4 people on schedule and when my favorite shift leader leaves then only….3 people will be on the schedule including the boss, (he puts himself in the schedule to save money instead of paying someone else) I would stay if I had my old boss, and if my favorite shift leader was staying but she is leaving and the boss already sold. My shift leader even told me once I quit, and I call the boss I currently work for, he is going to call the old boss because he relies on her for advice, and she is eventually going to call me and ask me why I'm leaving. Which even though she was amazing boss, I don't think she has the right to call and ask why I'm leaving because she doesn't own DD anymore, and plus she didn't tell anyone, including me she was leaving. I literally cane into work, saw the new boss and my first thought was "oh look they hired someone new" not knowing he was actually the owner. So in my opinion I think that was a crappy move on her part, yeah she may have her reasons, but damn after everything is finalized can the team as a whole get some kind of goodbye? I had to find out he was the new owner through a co worker. Anyways like I said I wish I could give them time but I can't. My new shift leader wants me to call on Saturday and quit. But lie and not tell them about the new job I was thinking of being upfront and just saying I got a better job offer where I start immediately, or saying something like ""I'm leaving DD to explore other opportunities." but I know the new and the old boss would be pushy and ask. Plus I'll eventually have to get my pay check and return my uniform at which I don't want to be awkward….anyways I'm in a dilemma, like I said I wish I could give ample notice but I can't….I don't want to burn any bridges there, but I go off to college in August where I'll be focusing on my studies and not working at all. So it's not like it's a major career choice I'm making. I don't know what I should do. Any help/advice?

Revealing Secrets
Chapter 1
“Here’s your milkshake, two straws, I hope you enjoy. Thank you for coming to Kings and Queens,” I exclaimed, with a practised smile. The couple nodded gratefully as I sauntered away from them and to the counter. I wiped the counter, but from the corner of my eyes, I observed the couple share the milkshake. I sighed, despondently and continued to do my job. It was ironic how I worked at a restaurant that served couples, yet I was still as single as could be. Kings and Queens was the only restaurant in Paxton Valley that served just couples. I sulked as I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 7:30. Half an hour till my shift was over.
“Juliette!” I turned around to find my boss, Christen with a panicked look on her face. “I need a huge favour,” she said, worriedly.
“Sure, what’s up?”
“One of the girls couldn’t make it to work, due to a severe cold…” I knew what was coming next. “Can you work till 9:00?” she asked, desperately.
“Christen, I need to-”
“Thanks, love! I owe you!” she called over her shoulder as she disappeared behind her office door. I groaned as I saw another couple walk in. I glanced around to see that all the other waitresses were busy with their own couple, so I pulled my brown hair into a long pony tail before striding up to the couple.
“Hello, how can I help you?” I asked, taking the order pad out of my pocket. When I lifted my eyes to finally glance at the couple, I was in for a surprise. The boy was charmingly familiar: messy, dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes and a warm smile.
“Julie?” he inquired, and I felt his eyes rake over my body before they met my eyes again. “Fancy seeing you here,” he said, nonchalantly.
“I work here,” I said, through gritted teeth. Throughout this exchange, the blonde that had arrived with him had squirmed uncomfortably, staring at the ground. “How can I help you?” I repeated, this time looking at the girl. She gave me a small smile before telling me her order.
“Two root beer floats-”
“One is fine, babe,” he said, cutting her off. I rolled my eyes, and nodded for her to continue as I wrote it down on the order pad.
“One root beer float, and two slices of red velvet cake, please,” she said, shooting an irritated glance at him. I nodded as she passed me a 10 dollar bill.
“I’ll be right back with your order,” I said, walking off to the counter, a little annoyed.
“Oh. My. God,” Ariella, one of my co-workers and my best friend exclaimed, taking a hold of my hand. “Is that your Romeo?” she squealed.
“He was,” I reminded her, putting their drink together.
“With another girl?” she asked, looking at me worriedly. I shrugged.
“Not my problem. He can date whoever the hell he wants,” I muttered under my breath as I added the ice-cream to the drink. “Two slices of red velvet,” I told her, and she resumed her work, icing the cake slices. When the order was complete, I piled it onto a tray and handed it to Ariel. “Can you take it?” I asked. She nodded, taking the tray from me. I decorated the red velvet cakes with the cream cheese icing, and couldn’t help but taste some for my own. Licking the tip of my finger, I let out a small groan, wondering why I shouldn’t just lock myself up and eat all of it. Ariel returned, frazzled, tray still in hand. “What’s wrong?”
“They refuse-Well, he refuses to take it unless you go and serve them,” she said, rolling her eyes and handing me the tray. I sighed, and walked back out front with the tray.
“Here you go, enjoy,” I said flatly, placing the food on the table.
“I heard from a friend that said that at Kings and Queens, you’re served with a smile,” Riley called out as I turned around. “Where’s your smile?” he asked with mock surprise.
“Riley…” his girlfriend warned. He rolled his eyes.
“C’mon Dee, I’m not paying 10 bucks to not be served everything I paid for,” he urged, looking at me. I raised my eyebrows. ‘Dee,’ gave me an apologetic smile, before staring at the ground.
“Fine.” I paused. “Here you go, thank you for ordering at Kings and Queens and have a great day,” I said loudly with a wide, crazy smile. I received quite the bit of attention as I stormed off to where Ariel stood. She burst out laughing, indicating that she saw my little show. I grinned in return.

It's half of the first chapter, it's not done, but I just wanted some feedback. I'm not an awesome writer, I know, but should I continue writing? Thanks for all your feedback in advance, xoxo, (:

Many employers are bypassing the jobless to target those still working, reasoning that these survivors are the top performers.
